THE BLUE AND STEEL 27 ETHEL PEARL POWELL Billie “You would!” Science Club (2, 3, 4) ; Home Economics Club (4); Sailor Maids (3). “Sober, steadfast and demure” is Ethel in school, but out of school quite a different tale is told, for she is happy, peppy and full of fun. My, how we are deceived by these quiet, conscientious students! She is also the proud possessor of a “Chevy” and be- cause of her generosity to help people in dis- tress became known as the school ambulance driver. Ethel may be small and dainty, but she surely is determined and, therefore, we are sure she will make a great success in a school of higher learning as she has done in C. H. S. 13est wishes go with you from the Class of '28. Ethel, sweet and gentle little lass, Who's ever loyal to the last.” ELIZABETH KATHRYN QUIGG Dirnps,” Quiggy” “You would be like that!” The Patsy (4); Gypsy Rover (1); The Miniature Lady (2) ; Sailor Maids (3) ; The Bells of Beaujolais (4) ; Honor Bright (3) ; Glee Club (1, 2); Commercial Club (2, 3, 4) ; Blue and Gold Staff (4). “Quiggie,” the actress! This she has proven by her dramatic ability in the plays presented around the High School, in which she was the leading lady. Her acting is superb! To help her to gain this reputation she has adorable dimples, is very attractive, and has a wonderful disposition. She has the cutest giggle—it travels up and down the scale and never misses a note. Every morning “Petty” comes in the room entirely absorbed in reading a letter. No one need ask where it is from. We all know what the post mark is. “Betty” says she is going to be a stenographer, but from the aforesaid —we have our doubts. We wish you great success in whatever you take up. We are wondering whether she will decide on the college man or on the gentleman in the Senior Class? “. sweet smile for all, a greeting glad, An amiable, jolly way she had.” HELEN ELIZABETH RIGHTER Helen” “Got your English finished ?” Domestic Science Club (4) ; Commercial Cub (3, 4). Helen is very quiet and very seldom we hear from her. She doesn’t care for lessons and would rather be a housekeeper. When it is baking, doing dishes, sewing and th- numerous chores of the house, Helen is ight at home. She never talks very mirh in school, but when she does it usually amounts to something. We are sure that vou will succeed. Helen, because not many girls now- adavs are very good housekeepers. 'I he best of luck to vou. “Still waters run deep. EMMA AARON RUTH Babe” “Huh! What’d you say?” Gypsy Rover (1); Miniature Lady (2); Sailor Maids (3) ; Bells of Beaujolais (4) ; Honor Bright (3); The Patsy (4); Commer- cial Club (2, 3, 4) ; Home Economics (4) ; Glee Club (2, 3) ; Blue and Gold Staff (4) ; Corresponding Secretary of Class (3). Whenever you hear a lot of chatter, or noise, or a funny little cackle, all you have to say is, that's “Babe” Ruth. This lady in question drives a “Chevy” sedan. And can she go? Well, she sures makes her “Pride and Joy” step. We do not know whether or not the name “Babe” Ruth has anything to do with her keen interest in sports, but if not, perhaps, there is someone who is very attractive on the teams whom “Babe” is very much interested in. What about it, “Babe” is it the sport itself or the boy athlete? But now, when it comes to girls’ athletics; she has served the girls’ basketball team very faithfully as scorekeper and was a great in- centive to the team. We are sure “Babe,” you have no need to worry about the future, because with your knowledge you gained in school—because she is quite a student in the Commercial Course—that laugh, and your pleasant disposition, you can’t help being a successful stenographer. Here’s to you, “Babe”—best of luck and wishes from the Class of 1928. “In laughter and in jest, She surpasses the best.” GERTRUDE ELIZABETH YOST Betty,” Yostie,” Kid Yost” “For heaven’s sake!” Gypsy Rover (1); Miniature Lady (2); Sailor Maids (3); Bells of Beaujolais (4); Honor Bright (3); Commercial Club (2, 3, 4) ; Home Economics Club (4) ; Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4, Captain) ; Secretary of Class (3) ; Glee Club (2, 3); Blue and Gold Staff (4). “Betty” is our girl athlete and an all- round, good sport. She is bright and viva- cious and quite a chatter-box. “Betty” just loves to argue and usually comes through victorious. She has always seemed inter- ested in the higher institutions of learning. We wonder if she is interested in the studies they offer or a promising young lawyer who is defending the Crimson and White. An everyday happening is to see “Betty” with a large envelope in her hands which we know is a letter from none other than—“that prom- ising young lawyer.” “Betty is a very good- natured girl and has a large number of friends. “Betty,” from all indications, is going to be a stenographer, but?????! what- ever she does we all wish her lots of luck and success. Active always; talking ever; Witty and merry; decidedly clever.

26 THE BLUE AND STEEL CARRIE ELIZABETH MARKLE “Betty” “Oh, darn it!” Gypsy Rover (1) ; Miniature Lady (2) ; Sailor Maids (3) ; Bells of Beaujolais (4) ; Glee Club (3) ; Commercial Club (2, 3, 4) ; Home Economics Club (4). If silence is golden “Betty” will be worth millions some day. ‘She is one of our quiet girls, but is always ready for fun. When you know “Betty” well, she is heaps of fun. Quiet is she in school—but outside? Boy! She’s a riot! When there is something funny “Betty” always contributes her share with a very amusing cackle. She could very easily be identified by her giggle. We wish “Betty” all success in her future undertakings. “Not bold, nor shy, nor short, nor tall, But a pleasant mingling of them all.” MARY AGNES McLEAN “Mary” “For heaven’s sake!” Honor Bright (3); The Patsy (4); Sailor Maids (3) ; Debating Team (4) ; Home Economics Ciub (4) ; Science Club (2, 3, 4). Each class has its noisy members and its quiet ones. Mary is another who belongs to the latter group, but then you all know that adage about “A wise old owl lived in an oak, the more he heard the less he spoke.” She always has a smile for everyone and we know that with her quiet, cheerful disposi- tion she will win as many friends out in life as she did during her high school days. Mary’s favorite pastime is reading. We have not yet figured out what Mary’s voca- tion will be, whether it will be pertaining to books or the stage. In the latter, at least, she is sure to be a success, for by her work in our plays she has proven herself a fine actress. Whatever you do the Class wishes you success, Mary. “Everything that is sweet and right Can be found in Mary's smile, so bright.” DIANA MOORE “Diane,” “Di” “Golly!” Glee Club (2); Commercial Club (2, 3, 4) ; Basketball (4). “Diane” has a quick temper and she re- pents just as quickly for her rash words. When “Diane” wants anything she sticks to it until she gets results. During the basket- ball season every night after school you would see “Diane” in a suit, out for practice. She was working for a letter and she got it. She is a great sympathizer. When anyone laughs, “Diane” must laugh; if they cry, she cries. Sympathy is one of the greatest things in life and I suppose that is why “Diane” is liked by evervone. Best of luck for the future, “Diane.” “Quick of temper, as quick to relent. We all love ‘Diane’ when she repents.” CLARA JEANETTE MURRAY “Curls” “Well, if you feel that way about it!” Commercial Club (2, 3, 4) ; Blue and Gold Staff (4). Clara is a silent girl, only speaking when spoken to. Not many know what bubbles below the surface; only the few she classes as chums. Clara is a wonderful pal and a dandy sport. She can take a joke and knows how to hand one in return. She possesses a head of hair which is the envy of many girls and which is responsible for her sunny disposition. With your good looks and sunny smile you are bound to succeed and the Class wishes you the best of luck in whatever you undertake. “Fair of hair, blue of eye, A perfect sight for any eye.” MABEL GOTTSHALK NESTER “Mabs” “Aw, heck!” Bells of Beaujolais (4) ; Commercial Club (3, 4) ; Home Economics (4). “Mabs” is the most unconcerned girl in the class, but she is also quite a student. We feel that Mabel’s vocation should be that of a lawyer, because she always argued the point in the Commercial Law Class, as she also knows the “ins” and “outs” of law. Now when it comes to forgetfulness “Mabs” takes the prize, especially when she goes to the movies. You can always hear her say, “I lost my handkerchief,” “I lost my hat,” etc. But don’t worry, “Mabs,” this personal trait will not hinder you in becoming an efficient stenographer, and we assure you that success is yours in the future. “Quite forgetful is she, The girl who works like a busy bee.” FLORENCE ANNA PAGE “Floss” “Gee!” Commercial Club (1, 2). Florence is very reserved and dignified and is usually seen and not heard. She is always willing to give a helping hand to anything that is going on around school. In regards to Florence’s future—it is a mys- tery? “Floss” says she is going to be a stenographer, but when one starts to drive a “Studebaker”—which we hear is her favor- ite pastime—we have to doubt her word, for many a person’s mind is changed when they start driving automobiles! Well, good luck to you, Florence; may you be as successful in your machine driving as you were in your lessons at C. H. S. “Silence is golden.”
